Why Volunteer?

People volunteer for different reasons and gain different benefits from it.

By volunteering you can:

• Make new friends
  
• Get new skills and experience
  
• Boost your self confidence
  
• Improve your health
  
• Access new training
  
• Help develop your local community
  
• Work towards a recognised volunteering certificate such as MillenniumVolunteers.

Everyone can be a volunteer, regardless of age, education, skill or experience. All sorts of people can and do volunteer and time shouldn't be a barrier, because you can give as little or as much time as you like.  

Your local Volunteer Centre can offer you help and advice to find the most suitable and rewarding volunteering opportunity for you.
